Sermon clips from Landrum churches

55s
“It would be in our day like going to court. Let's just, for instance, you're you're you're you got 12 eyewitnesses. You're you're you are guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. And the crime, the punishment for the crime you've committed is a price that if you can't pay the ransom price, then you're going away to jail for the rest of your life or until you can pay it. And you know, there's no possible way you'll ever be able to pay that ransom price. And just when the judge bangs a gavel and pronounces your sentence of being put away forever, he does something unique. He gets out from behind the bench. He takes off his robe and he comes and stands beside you and says, I know the sentence, but I'm gonna let you go free and I'm gonna pay your sentence for you.”
50s
“It's what Christ did for us. We are guilty, guilty, guilty. Paul was guilty, guilty, guilty. What he's sharing with these people is I know you're putting all your faith in this religion. I know you're putting all your faith in this list of dos and don'ts. You're putting all your faith in in this form of godliness. But I want to tell you there's something different and his name is Jesus. I don't know where you're at today. I don't know where why you came here today. I don't know where you've been in your life, but can I tell you if you've never met Jesus, I'm not talking about a bright light shining and knocking you down? I'm just talking about meeting the real authentic Jesus and realizing that I can't do what I need to do to get where I wanna go. And the only way I can get there is to trust Jesus as my savior, my substitute, and my atonement.”
38s
“I wanna tell them why I'm here. I want them to know the truth, but listen, he doesn't know if he's going inside that building and gonna be executed and may never get a chance again. So one last time, Paul wants to share his testimony. He wants to tell them the truth of why he is who he is, why he is where he is. And the reality is folks, we all have a testimony. As I think about Paul's testimony in this text of scripture, the first five verses help us to realize this is his testimony that first and foremost, and maybe it's some of yours, is that his testimony is that is that lifeless religion is useless.”
38s
“Yeah. Yeah. I know we like to go to the we like to go to the events. We like to go and hear the people's testimony who have, you know, who were called in prostitution or were called in were drug lords or mob bosses or you name it. You throw it out there. We love to go hear those testimonies, but the reality is those aren't the most powerful testimonies. The most powerful testimony is the young person that their parents bring them to church with them. They hear the gospel, they respond to the gospel, and they live their entire life teach and preach and expound on the glory of the grace of God in salvation through Jesus Christ.”
45s
“"Paul is asking us to do something, something that we think is impossible. He's saying, don't trust what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. But instead, trust Jesus. Why? Because he never fails. I will fail you. You will fail your spouse. You will fail your friends. Your employer will fail you. You will fail your employer. I could go on with the list forever. But Jesus never fails."”
32s
“"Paul says these momentary and light, these things I go through in this life that seem like they're never going to end are momentary and light, and they're producing something. These momentary light afflictions are producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. Don't miss that. Light affliction, heavy weight. Of glory."”
33s
“"Paul says, therefore, because of the light of the gospel, because of who Jesus is, because of what he's done in my life, because of who he is, because of the mercy he's shown me in my weak flesh that wants to lash out, that wants to fight back, that wants to stand up for me, that weakness that carries around that beautiful treasure, because of all that, therefore, we do not give up."”
17s
“"Paul says, we believe, therefore we speak. We do what we do because we love Jesus and we want him to be seen, not us. I don't worship a church. I don't worship a pastor. I don't worship a person. I worship the Lord Jesus Christ."”
20s
“"Paul says, we have this ministry because we were shown mercy. Do we realize that everything we have, we don't deserve? Now, I know we live in a world that says, work hard, pull up your bootstraps, do what you got to do, study, work hard. It'll all work out. But we don't have the ability to do that."”
30s
“"Jesus died so I could live, and now I must die every day so that he can live. Hear that? Listen to it again. Jesus died for me so that I could have life. I could be brought from death to life by accepting his payment for my sin, his substitutionary atonement on the cross for my sinfulness."”
